Linstock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows Linstock by unknown artist. The object has a long, dark-colored handle and a metal piece on top with a pointed tip. The metal piece has a wide, flat base that narrows to the pointed tip. Two curved metal pieces extend from the base on either side. The curved pieces are symmetrical, each having a scroll-like shape at the end. The metal is weathered and has a rusty appearance. The background of the image is a light gray color.
